Travis Younger (Understudy): (Supporting) energetic, clever, honest, but not above manipulating the adults around him to get what he wants; looks up to his father and adores the women in his life, a city kid who never had a yard to play in, but finds a world of fascination in the street outside his apartment building; earns money by carrying groceries and the apartment is so cramped that he doesn’t have a room of his own, and has to sleep on the couch.
